The paper introduces a data‑driven method for learning Random Geometric Graphs (RGGs) in probabilistic metric spaces. It defines a distance function based on the cumulative distribution of a disparity variable that captures differences in vertex connectivity and correlation of attached random variables, enabling edges to exist with a specified probability. The approach includes a rejection‑sampling technique for edge probability estimation and a closed‑form posterior for learning the inter‑observable correlation matrix, and it is demonstrated on highly multivariate real datasets.
